Of Moose and Men

If you can't pin global warming on humans, then pin it on Bullwinkle!
Oslo - A grown moose belches out methane gas equivalent to 2 100 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year, contributing to global warming, Norwegian researchers said on Wednesday.

That is more than twice the amount of CO2 emitted on a round-trip flight across the Atlantic Ocean from Oslo to the Chilean capital Santiago, according to Scandinavian Airlines.
Or half the amount emitted during one of Rev. Al Gore's global junkets in his private jet to proselytize the masses into submitting to his religion.

Or a quarter of the amount of methane that the good Rev. Al himself emits out of his pie and bung holes during only one hour of proselytizing.
